[T-Bone 84]

Maybe it’s good that we played Richmond when we did. In the last couple of weeks, they’ve knocked-off both SLU & GM, 2 teams in the upper half of the A10 standings.

Also, it looks like we may have beaten Duquesne twice, with that loss to St. Bonnie on their home court.

Finally, Fordham smokes UMass by 18 in Amherst? To paraphrase Yogi Berra, 1 word: youneverknow.
